The VA rates clusters as Migraines, that is how it is done. I know clusters are not migraines but they don't and that is how they do it, so don't complain. To see how they rate it follow this link. Then scroll down to migraine headaches.

Also check http://www.nvo.org/vv98/cfr/bookc.htm for how they rate other things.

Last piece of advice, get full copies of your medical records now before you start to do anything because records become lost all the time. And get a certification certificate that states that these are true copies of your records. Then take them for a ride over to the nearest Disabled American Veterans and ask them to review your records. They will help you with the paper work and answer any questions you may have. I would definately see them before you get out of the service because some things are easier to do before you get out.

Hope this helps,
Mike
